Why fine-tune Stable Diffusion?
Fine-tuning is taking a pre-trained Stable Diffusion model, one that's already seen countless images and learned the basics of image generation, and giving it additional training focused on a specific area.
While powerful, the base Stable Diffusion model is good at generating a wide range of images, it might struggle with generating images of very specific concepts, like a particular person or object or style of your choice. Fine-tuning allows you to train the model on your own dataset of images. This helps the model learn the unique characteristics of your data, leading to more accurate and relevant image generation.
